The High Life: Sex, Money, and Drums
Chap. 2
~10 years later~
"MARRISA! Some guy is at the door for you!" I could hear my mother's voice all the way from the kitchen, where my family was gathered for our traditional Chtistmas Eve feast. Who could want to talk to me at this time, I thought.
After excusing myself, I walked into the living room at the same as my mom. She was with a handsome stranger, a guy with black hair and tattoos going up his neck. The rest of his body was bundled up in a large black coat and pants. His face was familiar in some way, but I just couldn't place it. Where had I seen him...?
"Hi, your Mari right? You might not remember me, but I'm Jimmy. We spent the day at the carnival together in 1998." He looked at me expectantly, eyes begging for me to recognize him. Of course! He was James Sullivan, the guy I met on my birthday.
"Jimmy? I can't believe it, I haven't heard from you for so long! How are you, and what are you doing here?" My mother stood up and walked silently out of the room as he and I caught up.
"So anyways, like I said my band and I are on tour, and I wanted to come by and see if you still lived here in Woodstock." He explained.
"But why?"
"Because I had a proposal. I want you to come to Chicago with us. I haven't seen you in such a long time but, the day we met, I.. I fell in love with you. That love hasn't faded, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" I stared at Jimmy startled when he said that. He wanted me to go to Chicago, with him and a bunch of strangers, based on a feeling that was sparked 10 years ago?
"I can't answer that right now. I would need time, and money."
"There isn't any time! Our plane leaves in an hour, so you need to decide now. I'll help you pack to, and we'll pay for everything." He grabbed my hand and kneeled down on the floor.
"Please Mari, I need you to come with us. Don't you want to get out, to live your life? What happened to the girl who wanted to move to New York, and become an artist?" He was making a good case, and going to Chicago sounded like a fun adventure.
"Alright, I'll come. But you best help me pack."

Half an hour later, I was in a limousine with 4 different hulking men and Jimmy. My family hadnt been on board with my decision to leave, but they didn't approve of anything I did.
Anyways, the guys in Jimmy's band, Avenged Sevenfold, were introduced as Matt, Brian, Johhny, and Zacky. They warmed up to me pretty quick, except for Zacky. He didn't seem to approve of me at all, and just grunted angrily when me and Jimmy hopped in. Now, as everyone joked and laughed on the way to the airport, he just sat and watched me.
Something didn't seem right about him, but for now I would just have to deal with it, until he got more friendly. There was no turning back then. I was on the path to sorrow, crime, love, betrayal. I fell asleep on Jimmy's chest, thinking about what I had gotten myself into, and wondering about what lay ahead.
